"Francis destroys the Sovereign Order of Malta" - by Roberto de Mattei

"Francis destroys the Sovereign Order of Malta" - by Roberto de Mattei

The Pope and the Order of Malta: a Pyrrhic Victory*?

NOTE: Francis is NOT the Pope folks, wake up!

The resignation of Fra Matthew Festing, Grand Master of the Order of
Malta, imposed on him by Francis on January 23rd, risks being a Pyrrhic
victory for the Pope.

Bergoglio has in fact obtained what he wanted, but had to use
force, violating both law and common sense. And this is destined to have
serious consequences not only inside the Order of Malta, but among
Catholics from all over the world, increasingly perplexed and bewildered
about the way Francis is governing the Church.

The Pope knew he hadn’t any legal title to intervene in the internal
affairs of a sovereign Order and even less so to demand the resignation
of its Grand Master. He knew also the Grand Master himself would not
have been able to resist the moral pressure of a request for his
resignation, even if illegitimate.

By acting in such a way, Pope Bergoglio has exercised an act of dominion
openly in contrast with the spirit of dialogue established as the leit
motif during the Year of Mercy. However, what is graver still, is that
the intervention took place “to punish” the current in the Order which
is the most faithful to the immutable Magisterium of the Church and
support instead, the secularist wing, which would like to transform the
Knights of Malta into a humanitarian NGO, a distributer of condoms and
abortificants “for good reasons”. The next designated victim appears to
be the Cardinal Patron, Raymond Leo Burke, who has the dual offence of
having defended Catholic Orthodoxy inside the Order and of being one of
the four cardinals who criticised the theological and moral errors of
the Bergoglian Exhortation, Amoris laetitia.

In his meeting with the Grand Master, Pope Francis announced his
intention “to reform” the order, that is to say, the resolve to alter
its religious nature, even if it is precisely in the name of Pontifical
authority that he wants to start the emancipation of its religious norms
and morals. This is a plan for the destruction of the Order, which,
naturally, will be able to occur solely by the surrender of the Knights,
who unfortunately seem to have lost their militant spirit which
distinguished them on the fields of the Crusades and in the waters of
Rhodes, Cyprus and Lepanto.

In acting so, however, Pope Bergoglio has lost a lot of credibility not
only in the eyes of the Knights, but of an increasing number of the
faithful who see the contradiction between his captivating and
mellifluous manner of speaking, and his intolerant and threatening way
of acting.

From the centre we pass to the periphery, which however, is more
important than the centre for Pope Bergoglio. A few days before the
Grand Master of the Order of Malta’s resignation, other news along the
same lines shook up the Catholic world. Monsignor Rigoberto Corredor
Bermùdez, Bishop of Pereira in Colombia, by decree on the 16th of
January, suspended a divinis the priest Alberto Uribe Medina, because,
according to the communiqué of diocese, he had “voiced publically and
privately his rejection of the Holy Father Francis’ doctrinal and
pastoral teaching, most of all, as regards marriage and the Eucharist.”
The diocesan communiqué adds that as a result of his position, the
priest “has separated himself publically from communion with the Pope
and the Church.”

Don Uribe therefore, has been accused of being a heretic and schismatic
for having rejected Pope Bergoglio’s pastoral indications, which, in the
eyes of many cardinals, bishops and theologians have the smell of
heresy [about them], precisely for the reason that they appear to be
departing from the Catholic faith. Which means that a priest who refuses
to administer Holy Communion to the divorced and remarried or to
practicing homosexuals is suspended a divinis or excommunicated, while
those who reject the Council of Trent and Familiaris consortio are
promoted to bishops, and perhaps nominated cardinals, as probably Mons.
Scicluna, Archbishop of Malta is expecting, [he being] one of the two
Maltese Bishops who authorized Holy Communion to the divorced and
remarried, living together as man and wife. The name of this small
Mediterranean island seems however to have a strange tie to Pope
Bergoglio’s future, less trouble free than we can possibly imagine.

Who is orthodox today and who is heretical or schismatic? This is the
great debate that appears on the horizon. A de facto schism, as the
German daily Die Tagespost defined it, that is, a civil war in the
Church, which the war going on inside the Order of Malta is only a pale
prefiguration of.

*A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on
the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic
victory has been victorious in some way. However, the heavy toll negates
any sense of achievement or profit.

Addendum: Patrick Coon, TCK follower weighs in...

Eric,

Antipope Francis is digging himself further into
the Abyss with recent events with the Knights of Malta. Two voices have
sounded out against Bergoglio's actions, Mattei and a CUA cannon law
professor, Martens. Interesting that the internet search of this
development pulled up some secular and N.O. Catholic news articles but
when an attempt to view these articles sites say the article is not
available at this time. We are close!

The resignation of the Grand Master of the
Order of Malta Matthew Festing, imposed on 23 January by Pope Francis,
threatens to become a Pyrrhic victory[ "Pírrico": Said of a triumph or victory: obtained with more damage from the victor than Of the expired (Dec. RAE)Note of NP ]for the latter.In fact, Bergoglio has achieved what he wanted, but he has been forced to use force, violating both law and common sense.And
that will not only have serious consequences in the heart of the Order
of Malta, but also among the Catholics of the whole world, who are
increasingly perplexed and disoriented by the way in which Francis
governs the Church.

The Pope knew that he had no legal
authority to intervene in the internal life of a sovereign order, much
less to demand the resignation of his Grand Master. He also knew that
the Grand Master himself could not resist the moral pressure of a
request for resignation, however illegitimate.

By acting in this way, Pope Bergoglio has
performed an arbitrary act that contrasts openly with the spirit of
dialogue that was the central motif of the Year of Mercy. But the most
serious thing is that its intervention was carried out to punish the
flow of the Order that was most faithful to the Church's immutable
Magisterium, supporting in its place the secularist who aspires to
transform the Knights of Malta into a humanitarian NGO , Distributor,
"with the best intentions", condoms and abortive pills. The next named
victim appears to be Cardinal Patron Raymond Leo Burke, who is doubly
guilty for defending Catholic orthodoxy within the Order and for being
one of four cardinals who have criticized the theological and moral
errors of the bergoglian exhortation Amoris laetitia .

During his interview with the Grand Master,
Pope Francis declared his intention to reform the Order, that is, his
desire to denature his religious character, although in the name of the
pontifical authority he wanted to undertake the emancipation of
religious and moral norms. It is a project of destruction of the Order
that, of course, can only materialize if the Knights are surrendered,
who nevertheless seem to have lost the fighting spirit that
distinguished them in the battlefields of the Crusades and in the waters
of Rhodes, Cyprus and Lepanto. But in doing so, Pope Bergoglio has
lost much of his credibility not only in the eyes of the Knights, but
also of a growing number of faithful observing the contradiction between
his words, mellifluous and captivating, and his Way of acting,
intolerant and threatening.

Let us pass from the center to the "peripheries", which for Pope Bergoglio are more important than the center.
A few days before the resignation of the Grand Master of the Order of
Malta, other news of the same tenor has shaken the Catholic world. Bishop Rigoberto Corredor Bermúdez, bishop of Pereira (Colombia), by a decree dated January 16, 2017, has suspended divinis
to priest Alberto Uribe Medina because, according to the communiqué of
the diocese, he would have "publicly and privately expressed his
rejection of the Doctrinal and pastoral teachings of the Holy Father
Francis, especially with regard to marriage and the Eucharist. " The
communiqué of the diocese adds that because of his position the priest
"has publicly departed from communion with the Pope and with the
Church".

Father
Uribe has thus been accused of being heretic and schismatic for having
rejected the pastoral indications of Pope Bergoglio, who, in the eyes of
so many cardinals, prelates and theologians, smell of heresy, precisely
because they seem to distance themselves from the Catholic faith.That means that the priest who refuses to give communion to remarried divorcees or homosexual practitioners is suspendedto divinisor excommunicated, while those who reject the Council of Trent and the exhortationFamiliaris consortioisappointedbishop, and perhaps even created cardinal.Which
is probably also expected by Monsignor Charles Scicluna, archbishop of
Malta, one of the two Maltese bishops who authorize communion for newly
remarried divorced persons livinglonger.It
seems that the name of the small Mediterranean island has a strange
relationship with the future of Pope Bergoglio, less calm than one might
imagine.[The name "Malta" seems to come from a Phoenician word for refuge.Note from NP].

Who is orthodox today, and who heretic and schismatic? This is the great debate that can be seen on the horizon. A de facto schism, as the German daily Die Tagespost called it, a civil war in the Church, of which the ongoing war that is taking place in the Order of Malta is but a pale omen.

Roberto de Mattei

Also, Traditio reports that cannon-law professor
of Catholic University of America, Kurt Martens, has publicly denounced
Bergoglio for international crime.

Francis-Bergoglio Commits an International Crime
He Purports to Make Himself Dictator over the Sovereign Knights of Malta

From: The TRADITIO Fathers

Francis-Bergoglio Has Purported to Reinstate Albrecht von Boeselager As Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Malta
Von Boeselager Openly Handed out Birth-control Devices As Well as
Abortion-producing Drugs in Violation of Catholic Morality Bergoglio Has
"Paid off" von Boeselager's Brother with a Cushy Position In the
Corrupt Vatican Bank, Which Is Awash with Mafiosi A Canon-law Professor
at the Catholic University of America Has Publicly Denounced Bergoglio
as an International Criminal For "a Serious Violation of International
Law" against a Sovereign Entity And Has Called for the United Nations to
Intervene against Bergoglio

Just as our episcopal correspondent
warned in the previous Daily Commentary, Francis-Bergoglio purported on
January 25, 2017, to take over the Knights of Malta and reinstate its
condom-distributing Grand Chancellor, Albrecht von Boeselager, who had
been dismissed by the Knights for distributing birth-control devices
through the Knights' charities in violation of the Knights' policies and
Catholic moral doctrine.

In doing so, Francis-Bergoglio has
violated international law and become an international criminal for
directly interfering into the governance of another sovereign entity
recognized under international law. Moreover, Bergoglio has exposed
himself as an anti-life fraud by purporting to reinstate the
condom-distributing Grand Chancellor and rescinding the Knights'
December 5, 2017, orders against the distribution of birth-control
devices and abortion-producing drugs.

The situation is even worse, however.
Bergoglio has aligned himself with the very corruption in the Vatican
Bank that the Newcardinals who elected him demanded that he clean out,
along with its Mafia elements. He has done nothing of the kind. In fact,
he "paid off" the brother of the condom-distributing Grand Chancellor
of the Knights with a cushy position at the Vatican Bank.

A canon-law professor at the Catholic
University of America, Kurt Martens, has publicly denounced Bergoglio
for "a serious violation of international law" by a purporting to
appoint a Newpapal delegate to take over the Knights of Malta and has
called for the United Nations to intervene against Bergoglio. Under
international law the Knights of Malta is a sovereign entity, like any
state, and Newvatican has no authority to intervene in its governance,
just as the Newpope is prohibited from intervening in the governance of
Germany, Italy, or the United States.

Another element in this drama is that
Francis-Bergoglio's fake "investigating committee," whose members
financially benefitted from the order, was intended to discredit Raymond
Burke, the Patron of the order, who is one of several Newcardinals who
have essentially called Bergoglio a heretic for his rejection of
Biblical teaching on divorce with civil remarriage and bigamy/adultery.
[Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the London Tablet.]

True Catholics, now that
Francis-Bergoglio has violated international law by directly interfering
in the governance of another sovereign entity recognized under
international law, there is nothing to stop U.S. President Donald Trump
from intervening into the Vatican City State to engineer the ouster of
Bergoglio on the ground that Bergoglio has introduced radical Islamic
terrorists into Europe and the United States. It works both ways:
Bergoglio can't interfere into other sovereign entities without his
exposing Newvatican to the same interference.

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
